Since most of the players run with their feet rather than flap their arms to fly,You can't call your game "football" as there is next to no use of the foot for movement of the ball.
Thanks.
This is what I'm saying though. The fans would like a trophy but I don't think Levy is bothered if we win the League Cup. Not much money in it.
Given that the last time they got to the final they sacked the manager the week they were due to play in it, it’s clear they don’t care.
Absolutely. Why would you do that, I asked myself at the time? I figured he probably had a bonus in his contract for winning a trophy and they didn't want to risk having to pay that before sacking him over the league performance anyway. The money always comes first.
I think YOB, If there is one term which rankles Football fans, it’s when the term “ Soccer” is used to describe football.
Time will tell , but clearly they are not quality opposition and there are stronger teams in other leagues..
I hadn't given it any thought at all so that is an interesting point. I agree it doesn't seem like a level playing field although I assume there are other teams that came out of the same pot as Dinamo Zagreb so I guess the argument is those teams are ranked around the same and so would be considered equal.
And I agree. Not sure how it is fair and equitable and I am sure someone will lose out on top 8 or play off place and then whinge like crazy
I must be one of the only ones who wasn't super impressed by it (and I've only ever played in goal haha).
As a fellow keeper I tend to disagree. I think the VAR break helped as Raya clearly got instructions on which way to go a nd so that definitely helped. The ball could have gone anywhere including back for a tap in and while the player had to wait for the ball to come down he hit the header down and into a corner which made it harder to get across to. Certainly one of the best saves from a penalty where reaction times are reduced given the proximity of the ball and striker. Still think the Montgomery save one of the best I've seen, especially in an era where arguably keepers weren't as well trained especially on recovery from a first save. All opinions of courseI must be one of the only ones who wasn't super impressed by it (and I've only ever played in goal haha).
Penalty was rubbish (nowhere near the corner and an easy save for Raya after he picked the right side) and any top tier keeper would be getting up quickly anticipating the follow up. The header wasn't all that venomous, so although, yes, getting a strong hand to it was impressive (given his body angle), it was far from "one of the best saves of all time" which is how Savage was describing it
Great save? Yes, but one a lot of top level keepers would expect to make as they would be working on drills for quick recovery after rebounding shots all week in training.
It's crap and they've completely ruined the competition, just as they have the Euros and the World Cup. All about getting more teams in to make money for more people, even if it completely ruins the format.
Agree - it was a poor finish as he sort of tamely headed back to the middle of the goal, gave the keeper a chance. A proper striker would have powered the header home, closer to the right hand post.I must be one of the only ones who wasn't super impressed by it (and I've only ever played in goal haha).
